• Something that is kept the same throughout an experiment.

• A group in a scientific experiment that serves as a reference for comparison to the experimental group; a group that is untreated by the factor being tested.

• A table or chart in which measurements or observations are collected and recorded from an experiment or investigation.

• A procedure that is carried out and repeated under controlled conditions in order to discover, demonstrate, or test a hypothesis.ConConConafdokasjfokpansgvpokang[ojkajn

Inference...

• Educated guesses to explain what has been observed based on your prior knowledge and experiences.

• The diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence they gather.

• A systematic process that uses various types of data, logic, and reasoning to better understand something or answer a question.

• A recreation of an object or phenomenon to explain what or how something happens.

Repeated Trials...

• Multiple attempts to observe or record a measurement of a particular phenomenon to improve precision.

• Use of the five senses or instruments to gather data or information.

• To tell what you think will happen in advance based on information you already know

• An event, condition, or factor that can be changed or controlled to test a hypothesis in a scientific experiment.
